For some reason, this brand intrigues me. I have zero experience with any of their stuff. I'm just curious as to the what the brothers have to say about them. Thoughts, opinions, experiences, favorites, etc.......Thanks!
School me on Viaje.......

They can knock it out of the park. Or totally whiff. A lot of their stuff seems young and needs to be put to rest for a while to be enjoyed. Idk if it's planned that way or they are in a hurry to hit market
How long we talking? Couple months or like 1yr+?
This....some stuff is great fresh, others need time.
I bought a 5er of the Viaje Cache based off an online review (Kohnhed). I've smoked one of the 5 and was not terribly impressed. I'll let the other 4 sit for a while and maybe try again in the spring.
Obviously a tiny sample size and YMMV.

The Exclusivo series is good...Tower Cigar Anniversary in particular. The 50/50 Red is also good. The older VOR are excellent. Old Platino and Oro lines work for me as well. Can't say much positive about anything else....just not good IMHO.
I've read this, or something similar, several times during my online research.
I hit the Viaje bandwagon pretty hard when they first came out. Their second year, or the second round, of each LE, I felt there was a drop off on most. Even more so in the third year. Which is when I pretty much lost interest. Some of the newer releases have been decent. Hit or miss.
Lots of hits early, lots of misses lately.

I'd rather smoke a Gurkha. 'nuff said.
I really like the Skull & Bones, Super Shots including the zombies, Zombies, the TNT is one of my favorite cigars, the C4 is hit or miss. I have some Roman Candles that I haven't got to yet. The Satoris are excellent. I am a fan of the Exclusivo CG and am buying a box of them in the very near future. I really want to try the Collaboration, because I thoroughly enjoy Casa Fernandez stuff. Just don't get into chasing these things it will drive you insane.
Yikes.........
With only 3,000 sticks produced, wouldn't it be near impossible to procure this one?

I'm in the middle on viaje. I've really enjoyed some and didn't like others. Burn issues with most.
I'd say the zombie black, zombie red, and cache were my faves. Cache was a huge surprise for me. Very rich and chocolatey.
Others I've had have needed multiple fixes and relights which is annoying especially since some of those have had great flavors starting up.
I truly think if they fix the burn/construction issues then they will gain some heavy steam.
